My father, dad, papa, no matter how I call him, he is simply one of the most important people in my life. He gave me life and I am happy and proud of being his daughter.

He is Capricorn according to the zodiac signs - typical introvert, who hides the emotions, shows them rarely but I can understand it because I am Capricorn too. There is some hidden bound between us. We are soulmates, we don´t need to talk so much but both feel the love and understanding from every gesture.

When I was little girl, dad used to take me for many trips. We went to the mountains, walked there, played together. Everytime it was for me amazing unforgettable experience to enjoy his company.

At the age of eight I went with the classmates and the teachers for a trip far away from my city. It was for the first time I was somewhere alone without my parents. Dad went with me to the railwaystation to say good-bye to me. I will never forget when he gave me the kiss before he left me there. Such moment was incredible! This kiss had special magic for me.

I would say that my father is strict, intelligent with awesome sense of humour and very talented. As a little girl I was scared when it was dad´s turn to do the homeworks with me but now looking back I can say that thanks to his strict attitude I was for example one of those children with the best handwriting in the class :-) As for his sense of humour it is really special chapter which I can hardly describe. His sense of humour is tough, he likes making collages by editing the pictures on the computer. So when I share the pictures with him, anytime he might surprise me with something funny he created to entertain us. I envy him his talent and I can say that people who are multi-talented like this have my big respect. He can draw very well, he can play guitar, banjo, mouthorgan, he can write the poems, he used to play tenis and ping-pong. In short I would like to add that he is vey kind, helpful and he can repair almost everything..

They say that daughters tend to search for the life partners due to the character of their fathers and I can only confirm it. I always wanted to have a strong, confident partner, whom I would be able to look up to with the big respect and admiration.

Dad used to work the whole life in the factory and it might have influenced his health. Last year he heard the worst diagnosis from the doctors. He got cancer. I can say that we all were maybe more shocked and stressed than he was. I admire him for his attitude, for his strong will to live, to fight with such dissease. He had to go through the chemotherapy, he took up some new hobbies, got strong support from the family and he won this battle. Of course, that nothing is certain as for the cancer but now I can say my dad is almost healthy and I hope that he will enjoy his life for a long time and will be able to watch his grandchildren growing up…
